m408 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Just went through my weekly trip to Michaels and found a few items that might be of interest. 1- Krylon has a silver leafing pen that is almost a 100% match for sprue chrome. Goes on easy and the excess wipes off well. Seems to be an easy alternative to BMF touch ups. 2- Wandered through the doll house section and found various P/E gold plated screens of various patterns. I guess they are used for facade decorating or what not, but might be great for custom grills etc. 3- Also in the doll house section I found fabrics used for furniture upholstery. Anyone tried this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I wander through Michaels once in a while (do NOT get on a cash register line behind some old bat that is buying a loose bunch of fake flowers!). I'll look for the Krylon pens. They also have some gold leaf and silver leaf that might be worth a try. I always pick up their Plastikote lacquer primers in the big can, great stuff and on;y around $2.25 with the 40% coupon. Look in the "jewelry" section for those liitle gems that can be used for tail lights. A great place to wander around on a rainy day for sure.
